How Much Does a Bathroom Renovation Cost in Vancouver? (2025 Guide)

Planning a bathroom renovation in Vancouver? One of the first questions homeowners ask is "how much will this cost?" The answer depends on several factors, but we'll give you realistic numbers based on our experience completing hundreds of bathroom projects across the Lower Mainland.

Average Bathroom Renovation Costs in Vancouver

Here's what you can expect to pay for different levels of bathroom renovations in 2025:

Basic Refresh (cosmetic updates)$8,000 - $15,000
Mid-Range Renovation$20,000 - $35,000
High-End Remodel$40,000 - $60,000
Luxury/Custom$65,000+

What Affects Your Renovation Cost?

Several factors influence the final price of your bathroom renovation:

1. Size of the Bathroom

A small powder room renovation will cost significantly less than a large master ensuite. Labour and materials scale with square footage.

2. Scope of Work

Are you keeping the existing layout or moving plumbing? Layout changes add $3,000-$8,000 to your budget due to plumbing relocation.

3. Material Choices

The difference between builder-grade and premium materials can be substantial. A basic toilet costs $200-400, while a high-end model runs $800-2,000+.

4. Labour Costs in Vancouver

Vancouver has higher labour costs than many other Canadian cities. Expect to pay $50-100/hour for skilled tradespeople.

How to Budget for Your Renovation

We recommend adding a 15-20% contingency to your budget for unexpected issues. Older Vancouver homes often have surprises behind the walls—outdated plumbing, water damage, or asbestos that needs professional removal.
